Murton Heritage Society, would like to pay tribute to the contribution and sacrifices of the men and women from this area, who are presently serving their country in HM Forces at home and overseas.

The photograph shows the war memorial located on the village green in Murton, it is a replica of the cenotaph in London. The Memorial was erected by workmen and officials of Murton Colliery in 1921and has recently undertaken a major refurbishment, managed by Murton Parish Council.

Roll Of Honour

The following is a list of the awards presented to various residents of Murton

If there are any details incorrect or you know of others which are missing please contact us and we will endeavour to make any corrections.

The following are copies of the reports for the various military awards.

No 13820 Private William McNally

When his officer was wounded during the assault of CONTALMAISON, on 10th July 1916, he remained with him and tied him up under fire and subsequently reached the firing line by himself.Military Medal, 20th July 1916 (Sgd.) H Wilson Lt.-Col A.A. & Q.M.G., 23rd Division

No 13820 Sergeant William McNally

The trench occupied by this N.C.O’s. platoon was heavily shelled. One shell burst among himand his men killing one and wounding three. With complete disregard for danger he got the remainder under cover and carried the wounded to safety. The following night at the same place his trench was heavily shelled, and on three separate occasions he went to the rescue of men who had been buried and brought them to safety,

The cool courage of this N.C.O. is worthy of the highest praise, and was a striking example to all ranks. AwardedBar to the Military Medal13th November 1917 (Sgd.) E.F. Falkner Lieut.-Colonel,A.A. & Q.M.G.

No 13820 Sergeant William McNally M.M.

During the operations on the 27th October, 1918, across the Piave, this N.C.O’s Companywas seriously hampered in its advance by heavy machine gun fire from near some buildingson a flank. This N.C.O. with an entire disregard for his own personal safety, alone rushed the machine gun post, killing the team with his pistol and capturing the gun. Later at VAZZOLA, on the 29th October, Sergt. McNally’s Company having crossed MONTICANO River, found an extremely heavy amount of Rifle and machine gun fire directed upon them from a flank from a group of buildings. This N.C.O. immediately formed his platooninto a position from whence they opened Lewis gun and rifle fire upon the buildings, he himself meanwhile creeping to the rear of the enemy position. Realising the number of lives that would be lost in a frontal attack he, unaided, rushed the position, killing or putting to flight the garrison and capturing a machine gun. On the same day he was holding a newly captured ditch with 14 men when he was strongly counter attacked from both flanks. By his coolness and skill in controlling the fire of his party, he frustrated the attack, inflicting heavy casualties on the enemy.

Throughout the whole operations his innumerable acts of gallantry set a high ideal to his men, and his conduct generally was beyond all praise.

In recognition of the foregoing HIS MAJESTY THE KING has been graciously pleased to award Sergeant McNally THE VICTORIA CROSS.(Sgd.) J. Gray Simpson, Major, A. & Q. Branch of Staff.

Memorial of William McNally 1874-1976 V.C., M.M. & Bar Located Murton Village Green adjacent the main War Memorial.

The Main Plaque in the centre of William McNally's memorial.

Service Men and Women Killed in the First and Second World War.

The following tables are a list of the Service Men and Women from Murton who were killed in the First and Second World Wars, the lists have been compiled from names that appear on the Murton War Memorial (Cenotaph), the various plaques that are in the local churches, working men's clubs and the Miners FederationBook of remembrance. The details have also been retrieved from the Commonwealth War Graves web siteand Soldiers died in the great war CD.

Some of the names may appear in the books or plaques around the village but not on the war memorial, this is because of a number of reasons. If the individuals did not live in Murton but a) worked at Murton Colliery b) attended one of the local churches or chapels c) worked in one of the supporting industries or shops etc, then their colleagues may have requested their names appear on these individual registers.

These lists are still being developed and populated with information as we research them ourselves or are given information by others. If you can provide us with any further information or photographs of any of the servicemen or women, please Contact Us. Also if there are any errors, please Contact Us and we will endeavour to make anycorrections as soon as possible.
